the most important Democratic organiza.
ton in New England, entertained mum.
Der Of distinguished gentlemen at their

eaid: TIH.-}'. r ~
"You must permit me to tender tho sin.
cere thanks Of the Kentucky Democracy
not only for what you havo dopo in the
past, but also for what they know you in.
tend to do in the future. You will not
permit Massachusetts to always remain a
Republican State. Old prejudices are
passing AWAY. Massachusetts is already
moving toward the Democratic position,
with the Bay State Club in front, and your
brethren everywhere hope to see her on
tho right of fhe limo In 1900
"Gentlemen, in the very nature of things
this country must always be governed by
political parties. Weneed no. be ashamed,
gentlemen, to bs known as party men, If
we honestly believe that tho principlos
and policies presented by the Organization
to,which we orc attached will be to promote
the interests Of the Nation and the welfare
Of the people. This is the only true basis
for political parties, and any party organ
lied upon foundation lean broad, less pa.
triotic than this will soon degenerate into,
a more faction, and cease to command or
deserve the respect OF intelligent citizens,
Every attempt to make eingle interest or
single class, to the exclusion OF all
others, the baais OF political organization
will iail, aud ought to fail.
''Flon the formation Of you, constitu.
ton down to tho present time the point
OF irreconcilable difference between the
Democratic party and all its adveraaries
has baen as to the nature aud extent of
the Federal powers. The principle Of
local seli.govefnment is the vital part Of
Democracy. The amendment to the con.
s!.tution declares that the powors not
delegated to the United States BY the con.
stituion nor prohibited by it to the States
are reserved to the States respectively, or
to the '"ople. No power can Justly bs
claimed unless it IS granted in express
terms or by necessity implicated. If no
such grant CT power can be found, and il
its exercise by the State is not prohibited,
it belongs to the State and her people;
and thus the whoio doctrine OF States
rights ia defined in that articles. 1t does
nc. sanction secession or nuli6cation, but
il inatracts the several statea and their
people as 10 the boundaries OF all legis!s-
tive, executive and Judicial power not
pelegatad to the United States by fair
and reasonable construction OF the consti-
tuition.
